Patent number: 10792573Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to virtual reality simulation, and more specifically, in some implementations, to devices, systems, and methods for use in a virtual reality sports simulation. A system for virtual reality simulation may include an accessory (e.g., one or more of a bat, a glove, or a helmet) for interacting with a virtual reality environment. The accessory may provide the user with haptic feedback that emulates sensations that the user would experience when playing a live-action sport to provide the user with a more meaningful and realistic experience when playing a virtual reality game. Further, virtual reality simulations disclosed herein may include incorporating data from a live-action event (e.g., a live-action sporting event) into a virtual reality environment to provide a user with a realistic experience.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Centurion VR, Inc.Inventors: Muhammad Yasser Ghanchi, Adam Amaral, Glenn Snyder, Roberto Josue Meza, John Thomas LaViola, Jr.

Publication number: 20150294302Abstract: An offer management system is provided that evaluates conditions in relation to a gift card and triggers an action. In another example, the offer management system may be capable of evaluating attributes of a transaction using a gift card and may be capable of triggering an action. A trigger may be defined using one or more rules. For example, an administrator for a retailer may configure an offer rule in an interface of the offer management system. These rules may be evaluated in real-time, and offers made responsive to those evaluations. For example, offers may be made to a gift card recipient such as a discount on the total purchase, a dynamic addition of value to a gift card, issuance of a new gift card, or other offer. These offers may be used by a retailer to foster certain behaviors relating to gift cards.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2015Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: Glenn A. Snyder, David D.

Patent number: 6669262Abstract: A sun visor, which generally includes a foundation which may be folded unto itself to form two foundation halves, and an upholstery cover disposed over the foundation, the foundation halves include connecting elements which engage one another to secure the foundation halves together. Additionally, a frame member may be disposed between the folded foundation halves, the frame member including connecting elements which engage corresponding connecting elements of the foundation halves to secure the foundation halves to the frame member. The foundation halves include a liner board and a bead member section. The bead member section is secured to the outer edge of the liner board with a liner board interlocking mechanism which prevents the liner board and the bead member section from separating. A cover retention assembly is associated with each of the foundation halves and engages the ends of the upholstery cover to secure the cover to the sun visor foundation.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2001Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Crotty CorporationInventors: Willard E.

Patent number: 6641197Abstract: A sun visor assembly having a core member comprising an integral visor clip assembly. The sun visor is formed from either a substantially flat foundation that is folded unto itself, thereby forming two foundation halves, or from a pair of discreet foundation halves. The edge of the foundation, whether it comprises a single member folded unto itself or a pair of discreet halves, is shaped to correspond to the visor clip assembly, such that the foundation does not have to be cut-out to accommodate the visor clip assembly. This obviates the need to stretch and pull the upholstery cover through cutout portions in the foundation, thereby leading to a more efficient and less complex assembly of the sun visor.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2001Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Crotty CorporationInventors: James (Jud) Hobson, Glenn Snyder

Patent number: 6641198Abstract: A sun visor, which generally includes a foundation which maybe folded unto itself to form two foundation halves, and an upholstery cover disposed over the foundation, the foundation halves include connecting elements which engage one another to secure the foundation halves together. Additionally, a frame member may be disposed between the folded foundation halves, the frame member including connecting elements which engage corresponding connecting elements of the foundation halves to secure the foundation halves to the frame member. For example, in one embodiment, a plurality of clips may be integrally formed in a pair of connecting strips which are each associated with a foundation half, the clips of the connecting strips engaging one another when the foundation halves are pressed together to secure the foundation halves together.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Crotty CorporationInventors: Willard E.
